POOL BLASTER Spa Vac Plus Cordless Vacuum for Hot Tubs, Tight Spaces & Small Inflatable Kiddie Pools, Hoseless Handheld Cleaner for Sand, Silt, and Small Debris, by Water Tech

I bought this to replace my third grit gitter vac which cost $20 and lasts about a year before it becomes unusable. While searching for a fourth grit gitter I found the SpaVac and decided to give it try. I love it, sure beats squeezing the grit gitter bottle a million times to pick up half the dirt. The SpaVac is no super vac, but does a great job when used slowly. As with any vac you stir up the dirt as you move the vac around. Let the remaining dirt settle and a second pass will get the remainder. It appears to be well built and has a very fine filter to trap the real small stuff. It looks like it will last for a quite a while, but as long as it makes it through the season it will be well worth the money.UPDATE: it stopped working

I followed the directions exactly to avoid previous customer problems to no avail.1) It is nearly impossible to open the vac to empty the debris. You are supposed to "pinch" the general sides, but that does nothing.2) A minor complaint: Due to its shape, it rolls over whenever you set it down. (I don't use the stick long handle.)3) There is no "On & Off" switch. Shockingly, to turn ON the vacuum, one is supposed to partially unscrew the battery compartment hatch lid on the end of the handle which would then make the battery compartment conducive to leaking from that lid if one unscrews the lid a full 1/4 turn to the "On" marked on the handle. Just to test my theory, I did as instructed once, without batteries in it, while submersed in the spa. After carefully drying the outside, sure enough, water had seeped through the lid. After that I only turned the handle barely far enough to just get the vac to turn on (about 1/3 inch). But then later, I observed the battery compartment had additional leaks internally, not just from the battery compartment lid, indicating the whole vacuum is probably leaking everywhere including through the motor.4) You are instructed to completely open all the parts up after each use to let it dry out. I even bothered to dry it with a towel, but rust appeared in the battery compartment immediately anyway.5) The suction seriously diminished while vacuuming probably due to the batteries dying. A set of batteries was destroyed with each use due to leaking.I am convinced, with leaking certainly through the motor too, the vacuum would have only worked a couple more times, but I didn't want to waste any more money on batteries.Remember, if you are going to take the gamble of being upset & buy this anyway, they will not pay for your shipping either direction when it is defective, and be careful to return it within the warranty period to the correct address.

Works ok as advertised. Assembles in seconds. Only real complaint is the suction isn't very strong. It would get 5 stars if it had better suction power. It does ok, it handled very large bugs without issue, however the weak suction makes the job slower than it could be when it would take several passes to take in smaller things or draw in more water nearby. It could also use locking tabs for the handle pieces to keep it all in place, as it is possible for them to slide out after assembly.

Ordered the above item got a completely different vacuum.for my spa No communication from seller. I will try to use the pool vacuum instead see how it works. Will follow up with a post . DisappointedAlthough I received the wrong item product the one I did received aqua pool vac works great. Only other comment was that it was delivered to my front porch in the box the product comes in. Now that everyone in neighborhood knows I have a spa in my backyard.

I use this often in my 18 ft above ground pool. When you just have a little debris or the kids “whirlpool” it and you have that pile in the center, this thing is your friend. Way easier than dragging out the hose and hooking up the other one. You have to go SLOW and not kick the stuff up beforehand. So it’s not for the big jobs but the smaller day to day junk.

First of all....there is very weak suction. The filter basket has absolutely no instructions on which way it goes. I am very handy and love fixing things...and it took 1.5 days for me to realize the filter was in wrong. I only needed a small vacuum, however I wish I had not bought this. Waste of money. I am so disappointed in how cheap it is. It is not a "pool blaster" at all. It is cheap with no power at all. I do not recommend.

I bought this vacuum for my inflatable hot tub. I live in Arizona and we get a lot of dust. It worked great the first time I used it. By the second use, it barely suctioned out anything. By the third use, it was dead. I thought Mayne the batteries had died, so I spent $8 on new C batteries and it worked for about 30 seconds and then completely died. It is a complete waste of money.

works perfect in spa tub - lots of sand, misc. debris. i didn't have a lot of faith that this would work well, so pleasantly surprised. the ONLY thing i despise about this is how the vacuum head gets removed from the debrit receptacle - very hard to open. the large arrows on the vacuum head are irrelevant because it is still difficult to open.
